2011 Top 10 Places to Visit in the United States

Springtime in Savannah, Georgia

I came across an article on Lonely Planet's website about the top United States destinations for 2011 (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/travel-tips-and-articles/76390). I am curious to see who has been to some, all or none of these places so I created a poll you can vote on below.  I have visited three of these destinations over the years. I went to New Orleans in 2004 for an Irish Dancing competition, it would be interesting to take a trip there now and see the post- Katrina changes first hand. I also imagine it would be an entirely different trip being of legal drinking age... I have also been to New York City several times. Most recently in November I visited one of my college friends A, who is volunteering with the Jesuit Volunteer Core (JVC) in Brooklyn. This time in NYC I had the opportunity to visit the Metropolitan Musueum of Art, the Gugghenheim and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Once upon a time when my sisters were in grammar school my parents thought it would be a great family vacation to fly into San Francisco and then spend twp weeks driving down the coast on HWY 1 to fly out of Los Angeles. Despite spending way too much time in the car together, it was a spectacularly beautiful drive. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Sur, rode horses on Monterey Bay, went to the National Redwood Forest and visited Sonoma Valley wine country. I would love to return there as an adult, especially to San Francisco. However, if I could pick one of these places to visit in 2011 it would be Savannah, Georgia. I fell in love with Charleston, S.C. when my friends and I rented a house there on the beach for Spring Break 2009. I have heard that Savannah has many of the same qualities I love about Charleston, history, beaches and southern charm. Perhaps I will have to plan a trip there soon.
